All those factors from the previous page have to be just so to achieve this. The exact blocking out of the sun to where only the outer atmosphere of the sun is visible. If even one of these factors is off, you could not view what you see here. But there' even more to the story.
But let's go a little deeper into the issue:
Here are some amazing factors. The distance between the moon and the sun is 400 times greater than the distance from the earth and the moon. But, that's not all. The sun is 400 times bigger than the moon. How do you get a 400 to 400 match, along with all the other things (sizes and exact distances) just mentioned? But there's even more.
The earth has to orbit the sun at a precise distance as well. There is a zone around the sun, the the earth has to stay in in order for life to exist. To close, we burn up. To far, we freeze.
To sum it up:
1) We have exact sizes of three objects.
2) We have exact placement of three objects.
3) We have a 400 to 400 match, which makes this mathematically possible.
4) And we have the decaying orbit of one object, that matches the shrinking of another. So that we can observe a total eclipse where the sun's chromosphere is visible to the human eye.
5) Earth's exact distance from the sun in order for life to exist on this planet.
The picture above is an example of how the exact placement, size, and distance of three objects cast a precise shadow that allows us to see the sun's chromosphere all the way around the moon while standing in one place. This is called being in the focal point of the eclipse. The other picture is an experiment you can do yourself to see just how precise a focal point has to be in order to work. Most of us have already done this. But if you take a magnifying glass out into the sun, along with a piece of paper. Then take and try to make the smallest point of light that you can on the paper, as shown in pic. Move magnifying glass closer, and further away to see how easy it is to change the focal point on the paper (also, it will burn a hole in the paper if you hold it in one spot for to long). The area, on the earth's surface, is so exact (where you can actually see the eclipse when it happens), you have to be at the right place, at the right time to even witness it. Any change in distance, or size, of these three objects. And the visual we see during the total eclipse, at that exact place on the surface of the earth, would not be possible. And yet the moon moves out of orbit 1.5 inches a year.
The black spot you see is the focal point of an eclipse of the sun on the earth's surface. You have to be standing within that focal point to even see the eclipse. And you would also have to be standing there to be able to see the sun's chromosphere around the moon during a total eclipse. Now how far away does the moon have to move, in order for this to not exist anymore? But according to old earth belief, it just happens to be this way after billions of years? See the math chart below about how 1.5 inches turns into several miles over time.
So let's do some math with the 1.5 inch orbit decay of the moon per year:
Distance decaying orbit (1.5 inches per year).
Time it takes to decay that far.
1/2 Foot
4 years
5 feet
40 years
50 feet
400 years
500 feet
4000 years
5280 feet (1 mile)
42,240 years
And if you reverse this scale, and go back in time to where the moon was 1 mile closer to the earth. What do you think a moon 1 mile closer would do to the earth? It gravitational pull would cause more earthquakes, and higher tides which translates into major shoreline erosion. But a 6,000 year old earth translates to around 750 feet closer. Which is a little under 1/4 of a mile. More than safe for life to exist.
Years back in time.
How much closer the moon would be.
42,240 years (reference)
1 mile closer
1 million years
23.57 miles closer
2 million years
47.35 miles closer
3 million years
71.02 miles closer
1 billion years
23,657 miles closer
2 billion years
47,350 miles closer
3 billion years
71,025 miles closer
4 billion years
94,682 miles closer
This may not seem like much until you apply the inverse square law of gravity. Which means the earth would be destroyed by the moon's gravity, because it was so close to the earth.
Now, the evolutionists say the sun does not shrink at all. So the moving away of the moon should have already made the visual total eclipse, at the focal point we see, not possible. But every-time it happens, we still see it. In fact, with angle, distance, and size of the three objects. Plus the 3 inch orbit decay of the moon. Mathematically, it could be calculated how much the sun shrinks per year. But science has already committed to one answer, and science can never be wrong when it concerns creation. So they will fight this tooth and nail about the sun "never shrinks". Even though it breaks the laws of physics. But science will break their own laws as long as it supports their hard earned efforts to prove a certain theory right. The other reason the sun shrinkage is denied, it poses several problems for old earth theory. Which is a major problem for the evolution theory as well.
The flash below shows how the decaying orbit of the moon affects the focal point shadow of the eclipse. Once out of alignment, we see no more eclipses. But science says that's not true. In fact they will try and make you believe that it's either always been correct (on allignment for billions of years), or it just happens to be in alignment at this moment in time. Or better yet, creationist lie because we do not believe in their old earth theory..
So the questions that need to asked, and the things brought up are:
1) Either the sun shrinks at the same rate the moon decays in orbit. Changing the angle, in degrees, just enough to keep the focal point of the eclipse just right so we can see it. In which another self correcting thing in our solar system is exposed. Which points more to an intelligent Creator than random chance.
2) Or, the whole universe is less then 10,000 years old, which would explain why the moon's orbit has not decayed enough to mess up the focal point of the eclipse. Why? At 1.5 inches a year decaying orbit, to move even one mile away takes 42,240 years. Which means in 10,000 years, the moon has only decayed in orbit less than 1/4 a mile.
The possible "God did it like" excuses evolutionists-atheists will probably use:
1) We just happen to be at the right time, out of billions of years, to see this.
2) We see it, so it just happens.
3) You don't know what your talking about.
4) You are a creationist, so you are a liar.
5) You are ignorant and uneducated if you do not understand that this cannot be true.
6) I'm more educated than you, so what you say does not count.
Etc... But you get the idea. The lame excuses that will be used to try and explain this away will not be science. Instead it will be personal attacks, and peer pressure just for even challenging their theory in this manner.
Why does the sun shrink?
The sun does two things that changes it's size:
1) The sun burns up 11 billion pounds of hydrogen every second.
2) The sun produces solar wind. Which is particles spewed into space (speeds between 200-800 km/s).
Number one "almost" evens out because it's a conversion of one gas to another as hydrogen burns (according to theory, which can be wrong). But number two is not. Matter cannot be removed from an object without loss of mass. Solar wind is a stream of charged particles, plasma actually, that is shot into space from the sun. It consist of high energy electrons and protons that were able to escape the sun's gravity. In fact there is so much solar wind, that if it were not for the earth's magnetic field (which deflects it), our atmosphere would totally be stripped away. And our planet would become as barren as the moon with no life. Flash illustration of solar wind below.
